December 22, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Hollywood hunk Leonardo DiCaprio had a wonderful year 2010 and he will bid the year with a happy and wonderful achievement. The 36 year old actor got his first lead hero role in the 1996 movie Romeo and Juliet but got popularity with the James Camerons 1997 movie Titanic.

Now, after spending about two decades in the industry, Leonardo has got the top position in the Forbes magazines list of highest earning actors in 2010. The success of his movies Shutter Island and Inception has brought him this big achievement of the year. These two movies are counted among the 15 highest-grossing films at the global box office.

According to Forbes.com, Leonardo earned a huge package of $75 million for his work in Inception, which grossed $1.1 billion at the global box office.

The Tourist star Johnny Depp took the second place in the list and newcomer Mia Wasikowska from Alice in Wonderland is tying Depp in that position. It is a surprising fact considering her freshness in the industry.

However, it was Leonardos year completely and no one can deny that. We wish the next year comes with lots of more surprises in his life!
